I’ve been sharing this book so much lately that it dawned on me it would be a valuable one to share with you.
The title speaks volumes. Do you feel drawn to it? Do you imagine it will provide lots of practical, effective guidance for filling a major void in your self-care skills and help you substantially improve your life and relationships?
You got it.
Ann Patchett has a new book out, and it’s splendid.
The author of Bel Canto, The Dutch House, Truth and Beauty (a memoir of her friendship with the poet Lucy Grealy), and two moving, laugh-out-loud collections of memoirs, This is the Story of a Happy Marriage and These Precious Days—to name my favorites among her many—Patchett’s brand new book is Tom Lake.
One of my dearest friends, Tanmeet Sethi, has a book, Joy is My Justice, launching on May 2 from Hachette Go, a new imprint with a mission to give people the best information on how to change their lives for the better.
I’m so proud she’s in this select group of authors, and of course she is!
My friend Gene recently shared that every so often, a friend will say, “I’ve just discovered the MOST incredible book about spirituality!!!” To which he replies, “The Untethered Soul, right?”
It’s not such a wild guess since there’s little else in the category of a deeply soulful dive into the architecture of being that’s as simple and practical a guide to a richly spiritual life. Maybe Eckhart Tolle’s A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose, also a beautiful and rewarding read. But if I were to choose one that should not be missed, it’s The Untethered Soul.
All fifteen books are rewarding reads. I hope you find some you’ll enjoy!
Note: Audiobooks are starred* and highly recommended if not otherwise noted.
All 5 stars!
The first half of my 2021 reading year was all about novels. The second half was (nearly) all memoir! I’ve always been drawn to listening to different voices and opening my heart to many, varied experiences. I hope you find some titles you’ll enjoy. 🙂
